Upon becoming the 24th member of the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD in November of 2011, the Korean government pledged to increase the ratio of its foreign aid relative to GNI to 0.25%, or US$3 billion, by 2015. Such increases in the amount of foreign aid from Korea has simultaneously given rise to the importance of qualitative improvement regarding its utilization.
As part of the effort to improve the quality of aid, this study explains experiment methodologies for measuring effectiveness of aid. Experiment methodologies are being adopted in light of numerous disappointments involving international aid. Given the circumstances, a researcher basing his or her work on experiment methodologies eschews broad and overly general concepts such as ‘economic development’ in favor of responding to specific issues such as increases in children’s school attendance rates. Experiment methodologies have recently received much attention from researchers in development microeconomics, and its impact upon measurement of aid efficacy has been significant. Thus it is vital that any official or personnel involved in foreign aid become acquainted with them. Experiment methodology basically involves the following process. The researcher randomly divides the participants into control and test groups. Treatments projects are given to the test group only, and the results of the actions of the two groups are compared after a certain amount of time. Although the process of an experiment appears straightforward, there are potential difficulties that may arise, such as attrition. This study covers the logical foundation of the experiment method, potential problems during an experiment, and possible solutions to the problems.
However, there will be cases such as disaster relief where the application of the experiment method would be morally unacceptable, and where the results from the same treatment may be different depending on the scale of the projects. This study concludes by outlining limitations of the experiment method.
